new shoes

This morning #1 says to me "Mom, I NEED some rubber boots. Everyone has some but me. My feet and my socks get wet and then I have stinky feet all day. It's so embarrassing." (In case you are wondering two kids out of 24 actually have rubber boots, I believe she inherited my gift of exaggeration)I tried to get her to wear plastic baggies in her boots for today, but she thought everyone would laugh at her. I think the is the first time she has actually refused on of my suggestions AND she is only six.

Billy Graham's Prayer for our Nation

'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem... We have abused power and called it politics... We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' before he died and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One nation under God…'
